"Smoking" of medical marijuana removed from Senate bill

St. Paul, MN (NNCNOW.com) – An amendment approved Friday by a Senate panel removes smoking from a Senate bill legalizing the use of medical marijuana.

The author of the bill, Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) told the Senate Health and Human Services Committee he “wasn’t thrilled” with the change, but offered it to better the chances of the measure passing.
